______14. Atomic number is equal to the number of neutron in a particular atom.
______15. Positive ion is formed when electrons are added.
______16. The particles of matter are moving all the time.

B. The combined volume is equal to the sum of 20 mL sugar and 50 mL water.
C. The combined volume is equal to the sum of 20 mL sugar and 20 mL water.

above paper bits?
A. The paper bits acquired positive charge.
B. The paper bits are attracted to the glass tube.

24. Why did John Newland greatest contribution to the development of periodic table apparent from other scientists?
A. He arranged elements in order by atomic mass .
B. He assigned each elements according to family
C. He categorized elements by eight according to similar properties.
25.Which of the following statements BEST explain the characteristics elements in noble gases?
A. Elements are highly reactive. B. Elements exists as single atom.
C. Elements belong to Group 17 A.
26. Which explain why noble gases are considered stable?
A. because they have full outer shell and are very reactive
B. because they have full outer shell and are not very reactive
 C. because they have full inner electron shell and very reactive

27. Which of the following statements INCORRECTLY describe the ionization energy?
A. Ionization energy in the period is decreasing
B. Ionization energy in the column is decreasing
C. Minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron

28. Which of the following statements BEST explain electron affinity?

A. Electron affinity shows decreasing value within a period or row
B. This explains why halogens have the more positive electron affinity value.
C. An increase in the number of protons causing a greater attraction for electrons
29. Why does the size of an atom decrease as you move to the right rows of the Periodic Table?
A. They have less electrons (because they tend to lose electrons)
B. They have more electrons (which increase the size of the atom)
